Woman Tries To Mail Puppy In Box

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — They’re calling it the parcel puppy. A Minneapolis woman is charged with animal cruelty after police say she tried to send a puppy through the mail.

The poodle-mixed pup is being held temporarily at the animal control office in Minneapolis but still belongs to the woman who allegedly tried to mail it — 39-year-old Stacey Champion.

“Clearly there wasn’t a whole lot of thought that went into this,” said Sgt. Angela Dodge with the Minneapolis Police Department.

Dodge said last Tuesday Champion took the puppy to the Loring Post Office. The puppy was in a box with a priority sticker on it.

“A puppy is a definite no-no,” said Pete Nowacki with the U.S. Postal Service.

Postal workers didn’t know right away about the puppy inside, until the box fell off the counter.

“Apparently the puppy must have moved at that time and the box had shaken and fallen. At that point, the clerk and supervisor could hear a sound like panting coming from inside the box,” recalled Nowacki.

“They could hear it in the box, they opened the box and discovered a live puppy on there with no food or water,” said Dodge.

Champion did want the puppy to get there quickly because she mailed him 2-day priority. Officials say she was mailing the puppy as a present for a relative.

“The notion of putting a puppy in a box, putting them on a plane with no food, no water, no place to do their business, it’s not going to work,” said Nowacki.

The puppy is doing fine. Champion has until Friday to make an appeal to animal control to get the puppy back. If animal controls says she can’t have the puppy back, it will go up for adoption.

it is alive and it breathes air just like a human.. and it needs water food and a pup needs to pottie alot… a pup can get low blood sugar and die… thats why you feed pups 4 times a day FOUR TIMES A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THAT WAS STUPID and very cruel. just not right… she shouild not be allowed to ever have any kind of pet.

The Humane Society or the ASPCA – sure. But PETA? Please!!! They’re a radical, boarder-line criminal group that condones violence in the name of “total animal liberation.” Please don’t group them in with legitimate organizations.

PETA is clearly out there in left field. I’m all for protecting the animals, but trying to stop people from hunting and fishing for food….give me a break. This woman just has no business with a pet. I hope she doesnt have a kid.

Thank you so much for saying that. I loathe PETA with a passion. They are the most misguided, irrational, radical group out there. I follow stories about them in the news that make them look like complete morons, like protesting circuses that have never even used animals. But yes, this woman is an idiot and if she does not have enough sense to know you don’t ship a live animal, she probably should not own animals or children…maybe plants 🙂

HSUS is VERY radical, just with a better front. They are not “legitimate”. They do not run a SINGLE PET SHELTER, and they give less than 1% of their money to other pet shelters. They are in no way affiliated with your local humane society.

The founders of HSUS have been quoted several times saying they would like to do away pet ownership, etc. They have the same end goal as PETA, and have ties to many violent animal rights groups.

“My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture.”
— HSUS grassroots coordinator John “J.P.” Goodwin

“The life of an ant and that of my child should be granted equal consideration.”
— HSUS senior scholar Michael W. Fox

“[T]he Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with, nor is it a parent organization for, local humane societies, animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies … The HSUS does not operate or have direct control over any animal shelter.”
— From a 2001 disclaimer issued by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)

As if PETA or HSUS will do anything. Get a clue HSUS and PETA are not shelters… wait PETA is but kills nealry 90 percent of its animals. HSUS is just a money eater. They do not own any shelters nor do they give more then a tiny tidbit to a few shelters. not enough to make a difference. Having PETA and HSUS get a hold of this just takes money from real shelters who really help animals

Joan A, Rachel Kanarek: Furthermore, I volunteer at two shelters and a humane society care center. If you think the Humane Society isn’t doing anything for animals then you are as deranged as your comments. Why don’t you get off your butts, and stop negatively blogging about groups you obviously don’t know anything about and get out and do some good with your life. Sitting on your butt and bashing groups that are doing good while you perpetuate negativity. You are what is wrong with our society, you like everyone else just sit around and complain about groups that are trying to make a difference. While all you do is sit on your high horse and do nothing. Why don’t you put down the laptop, “you blogging buffoon” and do something positive. Go Volunteer your time. Obviously you have time to spare.

“The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is not affiliated with, nor is it a parent organization for, local humane societies, animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies … The HSUS does not operate or have direct control over any animal shelter.”

No shelters. None. They’re not you’re local humane society, sorry. This is a fact.

PLEASE PLEASE DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT THIS ANIMAL ABUSER FROM HAVING -ANY ANIMAL-EVER AGAIN…PLEASE SAVE THIS PUPPY FROM GOD KNOWS WHAT THIS WOMAN IS CAPABLE OF DOING TO ANOTHER LIVING THING…SHAME ONE HER..

.They freeze dry the poor things before shipping. Lol. I guess they have to do that, or they will start to stink, good thing water brings ’em back as good as new. I would have been upset if my sea monkeys had arrived dead and rotting.

Mailing Live Animals
Customers shipping live animals must ensure all packaging requirements are met. Live animal shipments may be presented at any Post Office; however, the service standard may be affected depending on the availability of transportation from the drop-off site.

Customers sending Express Mail shipments containing live animals should expect a 2-3 day transport of their shipment. Shipping early in the week is suggested, and holiday weeks may have limited acceptance days and times. Express Mail postage will not be refunded unless the delivery or attempted delivery is more than three days after the day of mailing.

Also chicks (just hatched, with yolk sac supplying food/water for up to 3 days) and bees. The post office will call the recipient and all my chicks and bees arrived alive, overnight, with me getting a call, and they opened the post office early so I could pick them up. They prefer chicks to bees 😉

3-m: As a former postal worker there are exeptions to the rules. Baby chick, ducks, guineas, full sized chickens are among the few warm blooded animal allowed even then it is required food be included. Normally, that is an apple. I assure you this puppy does not qualify.

We delivered bees, worms, gold fish, etc. but the one I saw that takes “the cake” was when a 4′ alligator was found among parcels about five years ago. Not a happy gator.

My first dog, Toby, was shipped to me from my cousin in Texas back when I was a kid, but they are shipped knowing there is a live animal, they are NOT shipped in a box with no air holes. They are basically shipped in a crate (like a standard doggie crate). And they are not placed in the cargo holds where temperatures reach freezing and below.
This puppy would have been placed in a freezing cargo hold where it would have died. The no food and water is bad enough, but the pup would have froze to death if the starvation did not kill him first.

I checked and three-m is right. Clearly the USPS needs to more clearly define the rules for people so stupid as to send a dog is a closed, dark, padded (?) box without food or water and living with its own excretia for 2 – 3 days.

Hahahahahaha…… yeah, you can just go around killing puppies without a problem right? How about killing people?? There’s laws against that too. Your “free” country isn’t nearly as “free” as you seem to think it is.

You have been blaming Bush for 2 years. And who the hell made it racial? That’s the trouble with you moobats libs. Blame your boy wonder Obama for any he has done and in your distorted mind you make it bigotry. Your handle Bushyboy says it all. After all you leftist fools did elect Al Franken. That takes the cake.

Are you surprised? Our stupidest, least productive citizens are given welfare payments to stay home and breed. Our most intelligent and accomplished citizens are responsible for themselves and so only have a few kids, later in life. It’s reverse evolution.

Please tell me it ain’t so! That this idiotic woman could actually get her hands on this puppy again is beyond ridiculous, it’s insanity. Can you even begin to imagine the fright, cruelty, torture and injuries this poor puppy would suffer before it finally ran out of air and died? Not only should this woman never get this puppy back, but she should be barred from possessing any other animal for the rest of her life.

Please — is anyone from animal control reading these comments? If so, please, please, do not give the puppy back to that woman! She’s a nut and the puppy deserves better … the shelter is much safer for the puppy than with a crazy person!

Hey Kevin, unlike Brian Macker, I get your point. Hey Macker, you’re a miopic simpleton if you think Kevin is referring to a law banning mailing puppies. He’s merely pointing out that freeloading dullwits like this ghetto turd woman are the reason why petty, nannying politicians feel they have a mandate to control our lives.

Oh goodie, Thomas/Phil/Alan/Charles/tenbillionothernames is back on the website to correct everybody and try to show how smart he is compared to everybody else on the site. Yippee. Hope you get buried in the blizzard that’s about to hit Maryland.

I thought we were getting away from incendiary speech and comments after the Arizona shooting, yet here you are insinuating someone should use a firearm to kill himself or another person.

Oh, of course you lefties can say whatever you want. Any rules you put on Conservatives don’t have to be followed by yourselves since you’re morally superior.

But then, those of you on the left can’t ever argue with facts. You know you would lose the argument every time so you either wish violence upon the other person or resort to personal attacks.

By the way, I guarantee there are plenty of members of the NRA who are Democrats and Independents. The NRA is not a Republican organization. It’s simply an organization of people who wish to retain their Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. But then, you only support those parts of the Constitution that further your own cause. Like, it’s your 1st Amendment right to say whatever you want, and Olbermann and Maddow have a 1st Amendment right to say whatever they say, but Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Fox News have no 1st Amendment protections themselves because you disagree with what they say.

‘memyself&i’ Are you insinuating that her thoughtless action has ANYTHING in the world to do with her being ‘non-white’ ?! I’m not ‘non-White’, but connecting a lack of brain power or anything of the like with the color of her skin is WAY offensive.

IF ANIMAL CONTROL SAY SHE CAN HAVE THE PUPPY BACK????? After what happened in Canada with the Husky massacre, no animal control officer worth his pay would give this dingbat the dag back. What would she try next;FEDEXor UPS? And I hope the post office kept her money to buy some dog food.

Black, white, pink, or purple, the woman is an idiot. And it seems to be going around these days. First, you had the woman who returned her newly adopted little dog to the pound because the dog clashed with her curtains. Then you had the mass murder of a hundred sled dogs in Canada, that made me sick. Then you had two morons here in Baltimore that thought it would be cool to trap a cat in a milk crate, pour lighter fluid on it, and then light the poor creature on fire.

Oh boy. Just when I was freaking and peaking about the state of the world. Egypt, the Middle East, all that stuff, I’m thinking the world’s gone crazy. But you don’ t have to look further than your own back yard to find crazy. Mailing a puppy? She’s whining about not getting her food stamps and she can afford to send someone a puppy? And she just got a degree? What kind of person is this? My oh my.

There is no way this woman should get the puppy back. If she does not understand that a living animal should not be shipped in a cardboard box with no food, no water, no place to defecate or urinate and no heat (it will definitely get cold if shipped in this weather) then she cannot be trusted to care for it.

I also know for a fact that when you ship anything Priority Mail they will ask you if the package contains anything hazardous, perishable, liquid or fragile. Most would consider a puppy perishable and fragile so assuming the postal official did their job then she also lied about the contents of the package.

Stacy Champion’s age is 39, must also be her IQ. I’ve raised, trained and shown dogs since 1969, and this incident takes the cake!!! A puppy should not even be taken away from the mom until it’s 6 weeks old. SHE SHOULD NOT GET THIS PUPPY BACK!! GOD ONLY KNOWS WHERE SHE WILL TRY TO SEND IT NEXT.
I have a novel idea. Let’s get a box big enough for Stacy, ship her to Georgia, no food or water and no air holes. Let’s see if she makes it. Dumb BROAD!!!!

I’ll lend ya a hand with kickapup!
Apparently that person does not know that living things have feelings, so I suggest an experiment with kickapup, and we can see if kickapup actually has any feelings at all. ie…hunger, fear, pain. etc…..

Stacy and Kickapup are Obama supporters. If you go to Ancestry.com and do a search, you will see she is a first cousin of Al Franken, seriously. It took me 5 mintues to find this and send it to the Minneapolis Star.

While I agree with you that this incident takes the cake, nowhere in the article does it mention the puppy’s age; only that she tried to mail it via 2-day priority mail. So your comment about how puppies shouldn’t be taken from their mothers, etc., is irrelevant in this context.

For those of you who don’t watch the news, the puppy was 4 WEEKS OLD! As far as being called petty and immature, I’m 65! You can ask any veterinarian, the worst death for an animal is suffocation! Stacey is beyond the realm of being human. She was ticketed for this offense. HOW SAD!! She should have been locked up.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.

Whew, that was one potential tragedy gone. As far as the lady who tried to send the puppy via Priority Mail, it wasn’t too bright; creative yes, but the idea was not well thought through. Deep down however, I don’t think she meant to do the puppy any harm, but the negatives in the plan sure outweigh the positives (if there are any).

4chan would probably love to give her a call[phone blitz] and let her know what a fantastic piece of [human] garbage she is.

“where i come from, we box up and send animal all the time..if it no make it we just eat it..no problem.”-SC

so this genius didn’t care whether or not the puppy died but also how it would be received on the other end..”oh..heres a puppy..it didnt make it?!?..so sorry..i’ll mail you another one and maybe i’ll put some kibble in the box this time.”

Simple-minded? No… simple minded would be exhibited by the following:
He’s an Arab, because his name has Hussein in it.
I can see Russia from my house
We gotta fight ’em over there to keep ’em from comin’ here.
They hate us for our freedom.
Or perhaps sitting still for seven minutes while the nation is under attack.
You redneck bigots are too stupid to realize you’re ignorant.

This girl did a stupind thing trying to mail a puppy. I can’t stand cruelty to animals , I also can’t stand the thought of an innocent baby being torn from limb to limb, decapitated and this is not frown upon but a woman’s right?
If you have the right to kill the innocent unborn then we should be able to mail puppies!

From the pen of Stacey Champion: “Yes I would especially a Italian man that is hard to find in mpls,mn and Jews that is hard to find in mpls,mn help me find a nice white TTY with phat pockets and love to spoil there girlfriend lost without a man in mpls,mn :)”

She’s a keeper. There’s more, but I don’t think it would be appropriate for a news site forum.

Well, she does seem to have money to mail a puppy, and money for a smartphone that she uses to update her Facebook profile (yes, her wall is public). But she also laments the fact that she’s not getting the food stamps she feels she’s entitled to (hint: drop the smartphone and puppy mailing and *buy* some food). And what a potty mouth! Expletives aside, her writing is completely incomprehensible.

Sigh… she also seems to be politically involved to the extent that she’s a fan of the Congressional Black Caucus. I’ll be the first to say that yes, of course she’s entitled to vote. I’ll also be the one with guts and say that in a perfect world… never mind. I’ll just shut up and pay my ever-increasing taxes so people like her don’t have to.

if nobody claims the puppy, it’s history. The SPCA cuts out their genitles and sells them for 50-90 bucks. If you are an not so cute puppy, or smell, or just plain unlucky, If I be the puppy I ‘d take my chances with the plain and mailmen.

in dallas the SPCA director let a cat die stuck inbetween the walls. I cried for a week and nobody came to it’s aid. It died and started stinking and only then did they cut a hole in the wll and fish out the carcass.
Some expert kindness pet people……goog it

nobody has talked about the temp in minn, The poor puppy would have frozen to death on the ramp. Where was it addressed to? Detroit? NYC? Chicago?
Thats one lucky puppy. For every thousand feet you go up you lose 2-3 degrees of temp. at 30000 ft, it would have been flash frozen. Even next day would have killed it. Not to worry about food or water. Puppies can’t eat rock or subzero ice. The puppy would have been history.

As far as the political slant to this conversation. If you can’t read, write, make life and death decisions, you should not be allowed to vote. IN fact should be sent to a re-education center to save their lives. What have our society and our schools done to these poor people? NO votes for sure. Mental health probably, drug tested, Jail…big tiem

2/2/2011 I saw this sorry at 5:30 am this morning when I woke up What the h….. How would she feel being put in a box with no food or water, gasping for air that is not there. That is down right sick. Please do not give that puppy back to her. I have worked with animals for years had seen the saddest situations and abusers, etc, so please put it up for adoption so this adorable dog can have some real love.

Absurd laws for pets, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our right:
They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

The reason you can get baby chicks through the mail is because they ship the like 5 mins after they are hatched. Chicks keep food and nutrients in their stomachs for up to a week after they are hatched. My father also get chicks, but I would not recommend trying to get puppies this way.

@kickamoron: Not exactly. you can bring a pet with you when you fly, but said pet must be in an approved crate kennel. They ride in the cargo hold just fine. There is plenty of air to breathe, but it is not pressureized or climate-controlled like tha main passenger cabin. As many of the flight systems and controls run through the cargo hold, any inflight emergency might require a crew mwmber to go into the hold to investigate the cause. Furthermore, most USPS (as well as UPS and FedEx) packages fly via cargo planes (no passenger cabin) so the entire fuselage is a ‘cargo hold’.

Once again the letters on here show how stupid some members of the human race are. To suggest that sending the puppy through the mail is no big deal shows there are some chromasones or DNA is missing in the pea brains of these people.

Guess she took the SLogan to heart..”IF IT FIT’s It ships” Maybe the USPS has to come right out and Tell people that Puppies Dont ship, Priority Mail. Now Puppies need to come with warning labels , when ya read stuff like this…thanks to the stupidity of some. I ‘ll adopt this puppy and pick it up in person.
Some people need that” Where’s your Sign ” Sign taped to their forehead.

2 day? How about overnight with padding, air holes, and fragile this end up stickers?

Nobody has common sense. With one method the puppy would be comfortable and not sit in filth too long – but still considered “cruelty”. The other way it is tosssed around, cramped, cold, filthy and suffocating – but not considered cruel by that foolish woman.

She should lose the puppy, but we should gain some common sense. You cant even discipline your kids anymore.

I am so glad they caught this in time. The dog is a mechanical dog and wired with explosives. If they had looked closely, they would have noticed that that the dog reacted in the same manner each time, the tail wags, the tongue drops out… Sure sign of a mechanical dog. Good find USPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how everyone uses comment threads to attack each other. This was a dumb thing to do, and Rottie Mom was making a joke about shipping the woman in a box. Get over it people. It is completely asinine to do something like this, but it is also asinine to verbally attack each other about comments. Shut up.

Trinnity-when a human being is capable of putting a live, defenseless animal in a box to mail or of killing 100 happy healthy sled dogs, the era of civility has long since died a painful death. Let’s get real here. Our humanity is profoundly diminishing and the reaction of many is cold and callous. I’d say that a lack of verbal civility is the very LEAST of our problems.

Kickapup, your an idiot, you must be related to the other idiot who sent the pup via mail. As for people injecting the politcs here, your idiots too. It’s walmart people like you that gives me an ego boost.

I’m understand about women tries to mail puppy for her family big surpisre and maybe she just learn one mistake something about box. But I suggest buy cage it easy way and too buy long lasting chew it easy for puppy more wise. And it first time happen. Then please forgiven her got mistake about box. That not big deal. Women is nice kind support for family for grandchildrens it never know. Maybe birthday or something support. And please don’t inuslt or negtive something. Thur comment more respect about her feeling. IF Different for Exmple abuse with tape no breath it then danger topic but she is Innocent 4 no reason. Then if ya want to contact me then I apperittie hear fr your information. Amen. 612 424 4220 fr Pre Paid Legal. Own business office. Truly
Thank your

>>But for you to suggest putting her in a box is also wrong. I’m sure you didn’t mean it, but it sounded petty and immature.
Let’s all try to be civil, shall we?<<

Geesh I hate PC – it's because of the "can't we all just get along" attitude" that people have gotten so stupid. If Darwin's laws still applied, people as stupid as the puppy-mailing idiot would not even be around, they'd have been killed off or died off for lack of survival skills. No, when someone does something THAT moronic, they deserve a taste of it. Only a huge slap like that will wake them up.
Ship her on the cargo hold of a plane and then maybe she'd understand. How can a human in this modern world of communication be so dumb and dense?

Not only was this a stupid idea, but as a person who used to work in the airline industry if this puppy had been put on a plane it would have died. All mail is put in the un-pressurized portion of an aircraft unless a special notation is on the mail.

This would have been quite the horrified experience from a relative who opened this box to find a dead puppy.

I’m curious as to what you did in the airline industry. The cargo bay below is pressurized and heated to the same degree as the passenger compartment above. Ask an airline pilot, because many animals in proper kennels fly down there daily. You have a common misconception.

To KickAMoron: You’re wrong. The cargo bay of any airliner is pressurized and heated to the same degree as the passenger compartment above. This is not done out of any desire to keep your luggage warm, but to save weight by lightening the structure of the aircraft. Your’s is a common misconception.

Actually the cargo space of most all commercial and cargo aircraft are pressurized, therefore enough fresh air, oxygen to readily support life and the temperature is only somewhat lower than that in the main cabin. The cargo area is where most all animals on flights are place, albeit with water and food.

WOW every one of you need to think about what your doing and may i even suggest getting a life or a job!!! This is pretty pathetic considering you have animal activists and morons all in one spot and the only thing we can do is scuffle over the internet!!!! This is a chat room not a debate forum, GENIUS’

Poor little puppy – thank God someone investigated the box and found him. Can you imagine the fear this little guy may have felt! It is dark in the box and hot, you can hear loud noises but can’t see what it is, you are thirsty & hungry, if you use the bathroom in your box there will be odor and the chance that you will be covered in your waste. What a nice gift that would be to give someone ~ a smelly half dead (or dead) puppy. Have you seen the way a box gets treated in the mail?

KITCHEN REMODEL PROMISED IN 2008: She never got it. There will be no justice until her granite counter arrives.

DOG ACTED STUPIDLY: Maybe it wasn’t her idea. Maybe she’s the victim of an O’Keefe ACORN-like ruse. Maybe it was the dog’s idea. Can’t jump to conclusions because we don’t have all the facts yet.

HIGH SPEED RAIL: Her eco-mailing sytem shows how disenfranchised she really is. Her efforts to prevent 2 gallons of automobile gas from being converted into heat energy preserves the Children of the World’s government-given human right to sled and play in the snow. I’m going to distribute $2 trillion towards high speed rail as a result of this misfortunate discovery.

MICHAEL VICK: Perhaps if she throws for about 3000 yards next year and turns her life around, her night manager at Waffle House will get a phone call.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE: Maybe the dog is really a human. The Governor of Hawaii says that he has proff but just can’t find it right now.

TSA SCANNER: Perhaps we need to make sure that all dogs that travel around the USA are appropriately groped for public safety. If you see something suspicious, like a dog licking his balls, SAY SOMETHING!

Someone should stick that B in a box and ship her off to the insane asylum, or better yet, jail. God only hope this subhuman didn’t have children; I”d grab them along with the dog and put them all up for adoption.

I’m unsure why a story about a woman abusing a dog became a poltical argument about who she voted for and how she must be on welfare. Is this woman a moron? Clearly. But that doesn’t automatically mean she’s on welfare, or that she voted for whichever side you’re against. These issues aren’t relevant.

She abused a dog, and that’s all that’s relevant here. Why must every story be turned into a right vs. left, us vs. them argument?

Keep your comments on point. If you want to have a political verbal boxing match, try the Sean Hannity message boards or CNN.

this person needs to go to jail for a long time. i hope she gets what she deserves, cold hearted …… i hope that the animal control doesn’t give the dog back to her, they must be out of their minds to even consider such a thing. she needs to go to jail. those of you making jokes remenber an innocent helpless animal almost died.
we need to call and complain this animal needs a second chance a good loving home. she has no remorse all she cared about is to get her refunded she doesn’t care judging by her action. i am sick over this!

I thought everyone knew if you want to ship a dog or cat you need to go to the airport. Airports ship animals all the time. One must have an approved pet carrier, but with the proper vet inspections and permits, one may even ship pets oversees. What’s the big deal? She probably just didn’t know to go to the airport.

She should be fined, given community service to pick up all the dog poop in our yards with her bare hands and then NEVER let her get within 2 miles of ANY pet or CHILD! She is a dangerous, heartless &^%$!!

So, we’ll find out the obvious…that it was a non-working, liberal, pregnant mother of six, on food stamps or other forms of government-sponsored servitude, and believes she is not accountable for her actions.

This country has lots of these idiots…they are called DEMOCRATS. Their idiocy continues unabated.

HOW DID THIS PERSON EVER MAKE TO ADULTHOOD? WITH SUCH AN OBVIOUS LIMITED IQ AND LACK OF BASIC COMMON SENSE, SHE SHOULD HAVE WALKED IN FRONT OF A BUS OR TRIED WATCHING TELEVISION IN THE BATHTUB A LONG TIME AGO.

I think we should put this lady in a box with no food, water, or bathroom and ship her! See how she likes it! ha! She shouldn’t be able to appeal this and get her puppy back. Who knows how she will treat the dog after getting the poor thing back! I feel sorry for the puppy and I think the puppy should be adopted by a person who is not going to harm him/her.

anyone with half a brain should know you do not put an animal in the mail! Jesus, it amazes me how stupid people can be when it comes to animals..or maybe just cruel….how would she have felt if the puppy had died? I just don’t understand why animals have to suffer because of human stupidity!

I’ll draw a conclusion: She’s black. 91% of blacks still support 0BowMao BECAUSE he’s (half) black. But they’re not racists. NO! So, using simple logic, I’m just certain that she voted for 0BowMao. Which explains a lot.

I think that this women is crazy and that the humane society does not let her have her puppy back or ever let her own a pet again. If she thinks it’s okay for an animal to go 2 days without food or water then what else is does she think would be okay.

Animal control had best NOT return this precious little soul to this offender, or they, too, may be criminally liable for animal abuse. Give the temperatures here of late, this dog would have most certain perished..

This woman knew that what she was doing was wrong, but would rather go to court, smacking her gum like a horse, and act like she had no clue. If I would’ve been in that courtroom, she would be in the hospital. People who do those things to animals deserve the same punishment and worse.

Hey!!! Sending chicks in the mail is just as cruel as mailing a puppy!!! You all are idiots- chickens are abused and tortured and all that, and you don’t even feel bad for them!! Dogs are loved and cared for, but you feel bad for THEM and not the chickens and chicks!!!!
